Nineteen years ago, Hole played Nottingham, touring album Live Through This, released the week of Kurt Cobain's suicide. It remains a stone cold classic. 1995's show ended abruptly, with a power cut during the introduction to show closer Rock Star. Courtney was too rock 'n' roll to come back on when power was eventually restored, so she owes us.

Arriving on stage to Ravel's Bolero, draped in a lace scarf, she opens with a snippet of Pretty On The Inside then goes straight into stonking new single, Wedding Day.

Her all male band are tight and raucous, making talk of a Hole reunion superfluous.

“Mummy's feeling ropey” she says, but a riotous Miss World suggests otherwise.

Good review David.
Yes- Hole played Rock City on Wednesday 3rd May 1995.just over a year after Kurt Cobain's death.
There is a story behind the gig which comes from the pages of it's "Who played when" between 1980-2000.
Apparently, by 11.00pm, Hole still hadn't gone on stage.
Courtney was outside in the back seat of a car, legs straddled over the front seat, and talking on her
mobile .She was prised from her seat by RC security guards, and carried into the building., where she somehow did a fantastic show with the band.
Lo and behold, there was a power failure, and she refused to go back on stage, muttering
"First Kurt , and then this".!-
